Merilyn Carter Penn, age 86, stepped into heaven Dec. 12, 2018.

She was born Dec. 31, 1931, in Eagle River, Wis., to Frank and Alida Carter.

Merilyn was a well-known pianist (and sometimes organist) in the area. She played for Northland Pines High School as well as many local churches. She loved music and especially loved working with teenagers in music. She was also an avid reader.

The memorial service will be held on Saturday, Jan. 26, 2019, at 1 p.m. at Three Lakes Evangelical Free Church. In lieu of flowers, donations may be given to the Merilyn C. Penn Music Scholarship Fund for aspiring young musicians; details to follow.

Arrangements by Gaffney-Busha Funeral Home, Eagle River. Online condolences may be expressed at gaffney-busha.com to share a memory with the family.

Merilyn was a longtime friend of mine. Started Graded School together and graduated High School together. As young girls, Merilyn was owner of many funny books. She carried them around in a suitcase and we would trade. I spent many hours with her in that lovely old house, roaming the basement, checking out the theatre downstairs, examining collections in her dad's study off the living room. I remember her well and always liked her. It was fun being young in Eagle River in the 1930's. See you later Merilyn.This comment has been hidden due to low approval.
